Eyes are open, sun is shining
Time to
start my day
Nothing seems to interest me
How will I
fill Sunday
The weather’s fine, I feel good
But heavy
hangs the air
Count the days ‘till I go home
Kiss your
face so fair
The silence is quite deafening
Dares me to
enjoy
This is tough assignment
Resources
redeploy
Clean the house, file my papers
Exercise
and stuff
Make my breakfast, take a walk
I hope it
is enough
Stay away from crowded places
Where families convene
Avoid the lovers holding hands
Get lonely in
these scenes
Likely is by middle day
Boredom
will set in
Perhaps I’ll write some poetry
Get lost
inside, within
Life is now a sign wave, either
Top or
valley low
Happy when I’m with you
Sad when I
must go
Anticipating pleasure or
Dreading
time to leave
A life I couldn’t ever have
Begun to be
conceived
I know it all will turn out to
Be fine as
I progress
But the valleys are quite difficult
Of that I
must confess
In the end the thing that helps
On which I
can rely
Is friend and lover by my side
You are my
earth and sky
Lying here atop the covers
Your vision
in my head
Streaming in my window, sunlight
Plays across my bed
Streaks of light like soft caresses
Warm me
where they fall
Smile is coming to my lips
Your
message my name called
Reach my arms out to the sun
Roll and twist and stretch
Reposition my whole body
More
sunlight I can catch
Makes me happy, feel your spirit
You are loving me
Sunlight does your bidding grandly
With me you
get to be
Arch my back, close my eyes
Upturn my
face to sun
The search for ways to bring us closer
Never will
be done
From the inside of my eyelids
Red heavens
I do see
The beach a place I do remember
Is coming
back to me
Lying in the sunlight, whether
Beach or on
the bed
I can travel any where
Conceived
within my head
The warmth can disconnect me from
All earthly
bonds and ties
Wherever in the world you are
My heart
directly flies
The bed was for an instant, magic
Carpet in
my mind
The sun brought me your energy
Of your
love it did remind
And now the sun has moved, rays
Of warmth
no longer there
The bed another lonely place
To miss
your body fair
But still it was a moment of
Beauty like
no other
Unique between two souls in love
As we
continue to discover
Up above the clouds I soar
My lover
fills my mind
I contemplate our specialness
All the
ways that it does bind
As I race around the globe
The
distance never varies
From me to where my lover is
For my
thoughts of her to carry
A thousand miles or more is
Barely out
of sight
Time and space are of our making
At any
distance we unite
Energy between us holds
A constant
open line
We can always be together
Make our
hearts to intertwine
Separation isn’t easy
But we are
not alone
Inside we carry each the other
Deeply feel the peace, of home
My hunger for you grows at night
When to
sleep I go
Darkness having replaced the light
Dreams of you my heart employs
When sleep
I do
Silence having replaced the noise
You keep me company all the night
When loving
you
Dreams having replaced true sight
You leave me in the morning light
When I
awaken
Golden sun having replaced the night
The grass is green, birds chirp and sing
The
mountains are majestic
The breeze is soft, blows through my mind
Arouses
things eclectic
I am calm, but not complete
A vital
piece is missing
My love is far from me today
Need for
her insisting
We two are woven into one
Fabric of
existence
Loose threads are we until we’re tied
Strength gained combining difference
We are much more then one plus one
An eagle
and a dove
Which is each is hard to tell
Dictated by
our love
If need require we can be
A gladiator
pair
Ferocious or uplifting
Follow voices
in the air
Together we’re a fortress
Filled with
light and music fair
A place we guard with zealousness
Where each
of us repair
What is love? I am to ponder
Why does it
make me free?
My mind can see forever
No sunset
waits for me
There is no end in sight perceived
Just what
is next to be
A series of adventures now
Bestowed
like gifts on me
Optimism reigns supreme
“I can’t”
does not exist
Some thing indeed has changed in me
Prior
thinking I desist
Is it science? is it magic?
Manifested in the physical
Is it real or just imagined?
Result is
truly mystical
In the end it matters not
The cause
of the effect
Not knowing all the reasons will not
Cause me to
defect
From a state of constant bliss
And a
freedom much too rare
To consider for an instant
Not living
as a pair
My life has been extended
At least it feels as so
My love is giving fountain
Gives me
life, as one we flow
Why do I love you?
Let me try
to say
Describe the way I’m feeling
Set it down
now, if I may
When I am in your arms and feel
The warmth of your embrace
For me there’s more than comfort in
That very
special place
There is a deep connection, a
Safety all
around
A feeling of completeness, doors
Are closed and walls surround
When we are close together perhaps
Just holding hands
We’ve moved into another world
Free of
life’s demands
No urgency exists that could
Distract us from our view
Through reasoning and talk we always
Do what we
must do
No matter what the problem is
The other’s
paramount
There is no test of ego here
Who’s right
we never count
We always keep in mind the reason
We have
come together
Protect the love between us that
Has always
been our tether
No matter what the needs I have
What ever
life prescribes
You have a way of giving me
The wave on
which I ride
You make me feel that I am king
A virile
manly man
You give me strength to face each day
Confident
in my plan
You play within the mind of me
At self you
help me laugh
Anticipate my many moods
When I’m
myself, but half
In every way you’re parallel
Another
part of me
But still yourself, for me to love
Unique and
wholly free
Of all the things in my life, you are the most valuable
Because you help me to be more of who
I am
Because you see more in me than I do
Because in your eyes I see love
And the future
Of all the things in my life, you are the most important
Because you give me yourself
Because you demand honesty with myself
Because you are my loving mirror
The better for me to see
Of all the things in my life, you are the most necessary
Because the color and taste of the world dim without your
sharing
Because emptiness grows in your absence
Because in your love I find myself
And breathe easier
Of all the things in my life, you are not one thing only
But a spirit that fills me
A challenge that moves me
A love that inspires me
A universe that surrounds me
You are… all the things of my life
Nothing ever felt so comfortable
Or flowed
along so right
I haven’t had a stressful moment
Or a single
sleepless night
Worry’s not a thing I do
If it
concerns us two
We just are, and it is perfect
Nothing
ever was more true
The house is quiet, I am alone
I do my
work, quite near the phone
Outside the many, birds converse
Sunny day
the Gods disburse
I need no one for company
I am just
fine to be with me
But this is temporarily
Until my
love my eyes do see
When she is gone her presence stays
Manifests
in many ways
“Alone” does not the truth convey
Just actual
touch has gone away
But she is here there is no doubt
From all
around her love does shout
I am embraced I’m not alone
Can almost
smell her own cologne
We are together, it is our fate
It has been
willed we should relate
A guiding hand made us a pair
Accomplished
what we wouldn’t dare
In this book I wax poetic
Set down
occurring thought
What ever comes into my head
The
rambling rhymes I’ve caught
These pages are a gift to me
Of and by
my love
Support from her is always there
She helps
me rise above
And go beyond what I can see
To places I
can find
The glorious possibilities
I create
within my mind
She fills my life with smiles and laughter
And never
ending care
Surrounds me with a veil of sunlight
Gives me
feelings that are rare
I think about my life before
It seems so
far away
I was another person then
Obliged, my
dues to pay
But then into my life came love
So
different it amazed
Destroyed the truths that I had known
Initially
left me dazed
Calm and quiet, safe secure
A hot house
for my mind
Seeds buried deep inside
Grew love
of a different kind
Life became adventure, no
Task could
faze me now
No longer dazed my spirit grew
New
standard did allow
What was a state impossible
Is the norm
today
What might the future bring to me?
What I dare
to dream, I say
Love has come and made us whole
Brought joy
for our repast
We bathe ourselves in newfound bliss
How do we
make it last?
The rule is simple I can see
Think not
of I, but we
Treat the other like new friend
This is
part the key
Tend your lover carefully
Like a
flower in the earth
Attention is a must for life
Celebrate
its worth
Every day search for new
Facets of
your love
Look with more than eyes to find
Perspectives
new found of
The way she walks or looks at you
Things
you’ve seen before
See them as a stranger might
Imagine
what’s in store
Hear his voice behind your ear
Feel his
beard so rough
Ponder where his hands might be
Until it’s
not enough
Value every courtesy
As gift,
and not your right
Give because you want to give
Take to get
delight
Love is not a thing to win
A self
igniting fire
You must feed it fuel today
Or tomorrow
will be dire
It is born anew each day
Each
sunrise opportunes
Give your heart and soul to it
It will
live for many moons
Know that love will live as long
As nurturing
will be there
The garden of your happiness
Can’t grow
if you don’t care
Remember how you got to here
The values
you discerned
They still deserve your reverence
Give honor
to what’s earned
Happiness comes not by chance
But
opportunity may
Give the love you want to get
Make a
home, and it will stay
In the rose outside your window
See the
softness of my smile
In the Turbulence of a storm
See my
passion, in your style
In the heat of the summer
See my love keeps you warm
In the cold of the winter
See the
chills that are our norm
In the strength of a tree
See the
life we will build
Flexible and strong
The way we
are willed
In the rain of the spring
See the nourishment I bring
In the song of the birds
See your praises
I sing
In all that exists
See my love
for you lives
In all that you see…
My loves
adjectives
I’m not alone nor ever will be
Soul mate met and bonded, thrills me
We are one though separate lives be
Joyful partners, we have found key
Ever hopeful life will still be
Fresh and bright, new facets yet see
Present here she does complete me
One we’ll stay beyond our frailty
When we’ve passed beyond this coil
When bodies lie interred in soil
When life we’ve shed for vision royal
Loving still will be our toil
What we found is that we met
In spirit, not in body set
So we will live beyond the clothes
Prevents mere mortals, their souls expose
The lesson learned is plain to me
Look beyond what you can see
Spirits joined could set you free
Give you love eternally
Time has come to move my home
No plans
for where to go
It’s kind of strange to be without
A place
myself to stow
It all makes sense, begin anew
See what’s
next in store
At the very least I know
For me it will not bore
But as I plan to make the move
Reviewing
things I’ve brought
Learn again the lessons carried
In the
things I’ve bought
A painting of a
Made in old
Montmarte
From a marriage long ago
Before it
broke apart
A dancer doing daily moves
In bronze
forever cast
From
My trip
before the mast
Indian lovers lost in dream
Bought when
I had little
Carry me back to harder times
My
substance it did whittle
Pottery from
A gift of love from ‘lizabeth
With whom I
make a we
Wood a thousand years or more
Getting
petrified
Stones and rocks and memories
Liz picked
as we did ride
A Painting from my sister shows
Her very
private place
A sharing of the deepest kind
The soul
behind the face
Maori wood, Aborigine
Black Opal
from down under
Gifts for one I love so much
No one can
put asunder
Pictures of my parents when
They were
young and married
Love’s light in the eyes of both
Which
through their life they carried
Every where in every corner
My life is
surely written
And on my hand a ring of gold
Proof that
I’ve been smitten
I will take these things with me
No matter
where I go
And make each house into a home
love will make it so
The strangeness of my bed, alone
The
distance felt from you, at home
The things I miss of you, bemoan
Keep me
awake with thoughts that roam
To times together bonded so
One mind
one soul to ever go
Though flesh is split and distance grow
Together
we, our rows will hoe
Our secret is our separateness
That lives
combined in one that’s us
The strength to be, when challenged thus
For us is
given, born of trust
Near or far, it matters not
Our
passions burn, remain quite hot
The ties that bind us, not forgot
As love sustains
through life’s grand plot
Little kisses on my shoulder
Softly
bring the day
Eyes not open, sleep still present
A feeling words can’t say
Light and shadows from the window
Dance
across the bed
Anticipation fills my mind now
I know I’m
being led
Passion rising warmth surrounds me
Loving does
begin
Gently I have crossed the chasm
From the
dreams where I have been
Quiet kisses, playful touches
Comfort
found supreme
Sanctuary wrapped together
For forever
it does seem
The dance of waking, undirected
Slowly
picks up speed
Each contributes subtle changes
As the fire
of love we feed
Suddenly the sun is shining
At the
mountain top are we
Basking in loves afterglow
Day is born, in ecstasy
Eye contact, held too long
A handshake
more than warm
These things become the inference of
The coming
inner storm
In time allotted less than small
The tide of
lives can turn
Unexpected, unprepared
One feels
the passion burn
Or passes by unaware
An
opportunity ripe
Undercurrent quiet… there…
Deterred by
stereotype
Like Atoms whirling on their way
Millions
pass each other
Occasionally two collide
Change the world for one another
Yesterday came and
went
Without a single
word
Creativity,
abandoned me
Like a winged bird
The poem that I
promised you
Didn’t come of age
And I am left
unfilled again
Mastered by the page
